Oh-- and to top it all off, my student stitcher can't work for awhile because he woke up with a mouth full of blood, went to the emergency room, and now is pumped full of antibiotics, hasn't slept, and is having emergency dental surgery tomorrow!
You have the emotional maturity of a blueberry scone.

That's...ick. Poor guy.
I'm still annoyed by today. We can't profile the system accurately. We've known that for years. It's what is driving the latest plan for a redesign. But it isn't something that we can do anything about now. We're optimizing what we have NOW, and it has its limits, and woah, we've reached them.
Also? The kitten is sitting on me, farting.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Why so rage-making, people?? Make things work!!
Hey, is the guy from Rachel Getting Married the guy from Television on the Radio?

It is a very good thing I'm leaving the country in July. Because right about then, I should be completely LOSING MY FUCKING MIND.
This is just the dress rehearsal. Or as I've declared "We're doing the performance test we've never been able to do in test in operations!" Which is sadly true.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Did anyone post this, and I missed it? Oldest prehistoric human hairs discovered...in hyena poop.
Scientists figure the hairs are from humans who lived roughly 195,000 to 257,000 years ago; before this discovery, the oldest human hairs found were from 9,000 years ago.
But the scientists can't say if the humans were moist and delicious, or tough and stringy. Hyena chow!
There's also an interesting factoid in the article about "hyena latrines" -- apparently only one hyena used a "latrine" area. Not, like, one at a time; one per latrine area. Ever. Kind of nifty.

Litterboxes like at my house! Well, Loki is trying to switch things up....but the others prefer their own latrines.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
But the scientists can't say if the humans were moist and delicious, or tough and stringy.
I think they can say, however, that the hyenas were good with it either way.

It makes me cringe. What a horrible way to die. Thank goodness for shock.
